Clean your bird's cage properly
A dirty cage can lead to health problems in pet birds. Keep your cage cleaning on schedule and with the right tools, even the deep cleaning will go smoothly Cages of larger birds will require more work than smaller birds.

Daily

Change the cage liner. Our Cage Catcher Liners (611688 and others to fit your particular cage), are so convenient. Simply place a pile on the bottom of the cage, and take off one a day.

Wipe down grate of droppings with cleaning wipes, such as Poop Off Cage Cleaning Wipes (17164)

Dump out and clean dishes and change food and water.

Wipe droppings off perches and toys with cleaning wipes. If droppings are hard to get off, use Wire Brush and Perch Cleaner.

Weekly

Put your bird in a safe place like a smaller or travel cage, like our Fold 'n Go Travel Cage (72309). Fill a bucket with warm, soapy water and gather together tools such as Super Pet Cage Cleaners or other cleaning tools.

Take out bottom pan, dump out seed, discard liners, and wash down with warm, soapy water.

Take out grille or grate above pan, if your cage has one, and scrub down, using brushes.

Use Bar & Grate Cleaner to get in between bars on side and top of cage. Make sure to get into the hard to reach areas, in which dust and dirt can accumulate.

Scrub perches, toys, accessories, and play stands. You may wish to soak toys in the sink or another bucket filled with soapy water.

Rinse all items with clean water.

Thoroughly dry all items.

Put in a pile of new cage liners.

Put everything back into the cage and then return your bird to his newly-cleaned habitat.

If you have a birdcage in your home you need this.
This little tool works great with Poop-Off cleaner to make your bird cage(s)
look like new. So much easier to clean the bars with this than with anything
else I've tried.

Good & Sturdy
These cleaning tools are durably made and should last quite some time compared to others I've tired.

Cage Cleaning Tools
I think they are great! They make cleaning the bird cages much easier and they look much cleaner. I use all three of the tools. They each serve a different purpose and do a good job. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Works great!
My African Grey is a messy eater, and food was getting stuck in the crevices of his cage. I was using anything I could find to pry the food and gunk out. These tools were made just for this purpose, and made it so easy to clean in places I found it difficult to get to! Wish I had known about this sooner!

Answer:

I happened to just purchase this and I'm using it on a cage that has bars spaced approx. 3/4". Discovered that aside from pushing the rows of bristles through the cage bars, you can also use it by sliding it along the bars, nearly laying it flat (as you would lay it on a table). In my opinion, the bristles are rather stiff (not a problem) and I don't think it would fit through cage bars any closer than 3/4". You could probably use it parallel to the cage bars which would certainly help if cleaning a smaller cage. Ideally, I would say it's best for 3/4" bar spacing and larger. Hope this helps!

Does this help clean the bottom wire in the cage? How do you get the green button to move? The description stated that the device on the handle can be pushed up and make the brush move. The description was hard to understand. With my understanding, it even said, the brushes can be moved?
